ABSTRACT:
A heat pipe (10) includes an evaporator (18) to which a heat generating device is coupled. A heat dissipating condenser 14 is coupled to the evaporator by a thermally insulating tube 46. A capillary is on the interior surfaces of the evaporator, the condenser and the thermally insulating tube. Both working fluid and inert gas are placed therein. Reservoirs (16) for receiving the inert gas are joined to the condenser. Both the condenser and the gas reservoirs are thermally secured to a heat sink (28); however there is a path of higher thermal conductivity between the reservoir and the heat sink than between the condenser and the heat sink.
